Not only is it a natural product that helps purge breakouts, it soothes inflammation, redness and tones all skin types.&nbsp; It can be drying so always apply your moisturizer on after removal of a Kaolin based mask.<br /><br />Try it as a spot treatment over a pimple to accelerate the healing process.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

Their expert makeup artist, Pat McGrath, created these duos to be blend-able allowing users to make their own custom shades just as makeup artists do. <br /><br />Pictured on my lips is my favorite, stunner.&nbsp; <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cq5Gjh_W0bk/UOcO45nThoI/AAAAAAAAAwo/6lxAtmiExDY/s1600/covergirlflipstickreview.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cq5Gjh_W0bk/UOcO45nThoI/AAAAAAAAAwo/6lxAtmiExDY/s320/covergirlflipstickreview.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br />A common woe is the inability to mix darker and lighter hues without getting a muddled look or the dark completely overpowering the creation.&nbsp; These formulas all combine together to create vibrant shades.&nbsp; The ability to blend shades is how we as makeup artists are able to create unique looks.<br /><br />I received several shades for review.&nbsp; Not all of the colors were for me but I am stashing them in my makeup bag and have already used them backstage for a dance show.&nbsp; The color I kept for myself and am LOVING is "stunner".&nbsp; The two tones are bright pink and gold shimmer.&nbsp; Perfection.&nbsp; Gold on its on makes me so washed out.&nbsp; I apply a thin layer of the pink and then swipe a few stokes of the gold over the top for my current go to day time shade. <br /><br />A fantastic shade of poppy can also be blended using a couple layers of the bright pink over the gold from the stunner flipstick and blending well.&nbsp; Poppy is a choice lip shade this spring.&nbsp; Its got the bold factor of red, the sweetness of pink and the touch of orange that give it a look of its own.<br /><br />The blast flipstick is another win for Covergirl.&nbsp; In addition to all the custom looks you can create, the wear alone shades are gorgeous and the formula is more moisturizing then some lip balms on the market.&nbsp; In fact the moisture factor is why I have made stunner my go to shade.&nbsp; Naturally I had to love the shade too but the deciding factor on a lipstick is always how drying and long lasting is.&nbsp; The color stays put without staining my lips or shriveling them up into a chapped mess.&nbsp; I do my <a href="http://amariebeauty.blogspot.com/2011/10/tip-off-tuesday-get-luscious-lips-with.html" target="_blank">DIY lip exfoliating</a> treatment at least once a week in the winter, no lip color looks good and dry lips. <br /><br />Covergirl released flipstick smack dab in the middle of the Ombre craze.&nbsp; See Sofia Vergara looking stunning with a poppy to copper pout done ombre style in the Covergirl ads.&nbsp; <br /><br /><img alt="" src="https://img.bzzagent.com/image/blastflipstick.jpg?Type=activity&amp;Activity=8685210688&amp;Campaign=1937617816&amp;Uid=1206921&amp;token=d1fd50c05556e1fb1c16fa9949ffc1cd" /><br /><br />As ombre starts to fizzle you can try this fun variation using flipstick:<br />Line your lips with the edge of the lipstick using the darker tone.&nbsp; Fill your lips in with the lighter shade of your dual tone and blend in without completely disrupting the lined edge so that you can see the contrast.&nbsp; The look is fun, bold and high fashion.<br /><br />I swatched the three flipsticks I received in both tones plus a swatch of the two tones mixed. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Dry, cracking and over grown cuticles can be a problem year round but as the months get colder it gets harder to maintain pretty fingers.<br /><br />When you step out of the shower your hands are softened from the steam.&nbsp; Take this oppurtunity to gently push your cutlicles back when you dry off.&nbsp; All you have to do is use your towel to quickly push them away from growing up the nail.&nbsp; Add your moisturizer generously.&nbsp; I make the most of my facial cream in this step, read my method <a href="http://amariebeauty.blogspot.com/2012/01/tip-off-tuesday-use-excess-face-cream.html">here</a>.Angiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04607175660613939293noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9181971009898569927.post-7131424091960233752012-10-10T21:13:00.000-04:002012-10-10T21:13:39.997-04:00How To Lessen the Appearance of Wrinkles with MakeupA common question I get is how to lessen the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.&nbsp; The quickie makeup fix uses concealer and highlighter.&nbsp; The resulting look softens the lines, especially diminishing their appearance in photos due to the light reflecting pigments found in highlighter.<br /><br />1.&nbsp; Even your skin tone as you normally would.&nbsp; Always start with a moisturizer.<br /><br />2.&nbsp; Dab a concealer that is not drying along the lines you are targeting.&nbsp; Dry concealer will settle in the lines making them more obvious so choose wisely.<br /><br />3.&nbsp; Using a highlighter pencil draw on top of the lines, dab with your finger to soften the edges.&nbsp; Use your pinky finger to apply on top of the lines if your highlighter is not in the pencil form.<br /><br />Simple, quick and easy!Angiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04607175660613939293noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9181971009898569927.post-405823636037344752012-10-05T07:58:00.001-04:002012-10-05T07:58:32.093-04:00Pretty in Pink | The Nail Files<div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Collagen gives our skin strength.&nbsp; Collagen fibers bind and attract water to keep the skin hydrated.&nbsp; Elastin gives our skin flexibility, it keeps it bouncing back and looking toned. <br /><br />Aging decreases both collagen and elastin production causing skin to sag and wrinkles to form.&nbsp; Proper skin care is crucial for the preservation of your facial appearance.&nbsp; To keep that production up, stimulate the fibers often by massaging in your creams and giving brief pressure point massage (Shitasu) to the common areas of concern.<br /><br />See the <a href="http://amariebeauty.blogspot.com/2012/03/shiatsu-for-healthy-youthful-skin.html">Shiatsu post</a> for more information.&nbsp;

I especially love custom and hand made jewelry so when I heard about the Arm Party I was all over it.<br /><br />The hosts of the fabulous exchange are:<br />Leonora of Yellow Heart Art and Ilene of Much Love, Illy<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

This usually steers me way off coarse and leads to under production of things that should happen but to the production of fabulous jewelry.<br /><br />To design my Arm Party bracelet for Janeen <i>my exchange partner</i> I did not veer to far of my usual creative course.&nbsp; I did check her blog out to troll for ideas and thanks to the Arm Parties handy, dandy, little google doc, I had an email telling me what colors she was in to.&nbsp; I made her two bracelets, one using vintage buttons and the other using tee shirt scraps.&nbsp; Go check&nbsp; <a href="http://wildvanilladesigns.com/2012/08/its-time-for-an-arm-party/" target="_blank">Wild Vanilla Designs</a> to see her <a href="http://wildvanilladesigns.com/2012/08/its-time-for-an-arm-party/" target="_blank">reveal of the goods</a> I mailed for the Arm Party.<br /><br />The bracelet I received from Janeen was crafted for me with thought.&nbsp; She went through my blog and totally "got me".&nbsp; She inclosed a sweet note card and my bracelet was tucked in a pretty little bag.&nbsp; The clasp is my favorite part and I am obsessed with it.&nbsp; The purple wire is killer.&nbsp; Her work is very detailed and done flawlessly.&nbsp; Here it is...<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NirrrVXz-os/UDLr8M5R-vI/AAAAAAAAAuA/_ZcgfSvZ0w8/s1600/braceletclasp.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Add a leaf using a thin brush stoke that tapers off at the end.&nbsp; Fill in with two more leaves on each side and one just off center.<br /><br />4. Slightly overlap the dark green with a lighter shade near the center of the leaves, not entirely, just to give the leaves two tones.<br /><br />5.

That will make your eye color pop right through the lenses even with a bare face.&nbsp; I have green eyes so I tried some fun purple Miss Sixty frames. <br /><br /><br />Eyebrows are the frame of our faces but when we need to wear <a href="http://www.glassesusa.com/" target="_blank">eyeglasses</a> they tend to take center stage.&nbsp; Choosing frames that compliment your face, don't steal all the beauty and coordinate with your makeup palette can be tough to accommodate and shopping can be an indecisive nightmare.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.glassesusa.com/">GlassesUSA.com</a> is simplifying the process with the virtual try on feature which allows you to upload a photo of yourself and virtually try on pairs in your own home.&nbsp; Buying things online always leaves a slight element of the unknown.&nbsp; Here you have the added insurance that you chose the right frames because they offer a 100% money back guarantee.&nbsp; <br /><br />The price guarantee and virtual try on make shopping for <a href="http://www.glassesusa.com/" target="_blank">eye glasses online</a> less stressful.<br /><br />There is something for everyone.&nbsp; My favorite is the tortoise frame, I want them for everything!&nbsp; The online store carries affordable <a href="http://www.glassesusa.com/" target="_blank">multifocal glasses</a> and has a huge selection of favorites in the designer boutique.&nbsp;&nbsp; I am also loving the vintage style section they have.&nbsp; It has more unique and definitive styles that many of us are after.&nbsp; <br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

Make sure your lips are well moisturized and not chapped or both the powder and the lip color will soak in.&nbsp; <br /></span>Angiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04607175660613939293noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9181971009898569927.post-84093945700648412812012-07-02T00:00:00.000-04:002012-07-02T00:00:04.625-04:00Summer Beauty Series and the Digital Quilt ProjectIf you missed the Summer Beauty series catch up with all the DIY's and tips by clicking the button below.&nbsp;

<br /><br />I have thin hair that also tends to get oily quick so any serum is usually a no-no for me.&nbsp; I was able to get nice shine without the weighted down greasy look with the Sheer Solution.&nbsp; They suggest using 10 drops and used about half that amount, using more made it look like I had product in and not just smooth hair.<br /><br />*Light and clean smell.<br />*Soft and silky texture.<br />*Lightweight, doesn't make hair stringy.<br />*Eliminates the frizz entirely.<br /><br />John Frieda has several products for frizz but Sheer Solutions was revolutionized just for fine hair.&nbsp; The dual formula works by combining a light weight serum and smoothing elixir.&nbsp; They actually separate in the bottle, you just shake to activate and combine before applying. <br /><br />I recently made <a href="http://www.amariebeauty.blogspot.com/2012/06/diy-sea-salt-spray-for-beachy-hair.html">DIY beach wave hair spray</a> and used some Sheer Solution in the recipe.<br /><br /><i>I received this product to review from Frizz Ease for BzzAgent.com.&nbsp;
